Much as I'd love to have a pure 64bit system today it's not possible now (which BTW is the whole point of multilib). Now if i386 is considered harmful could we at least have arch-specific mirrorlists ? Or a yum switch to activate them ?

This is what I realised (after much pain). I doubt I'm the only one in trouble. Just the first to report it. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
